Bakery for small scale industrial production on the isle of Mull in Scotland
The installation of an industrial biscuit line was a dream come true for the bakery owner Joe Reade.
After years of planning and growing financial support, autumn 2012 marked the establishment of the first industrial bakery line on the beautiful Isle of Mull, Scotland.
Aasted and Joe teamed up at the 2011 Interpack Trade Fair, when Joe was in search for the perfect depositor solution.
Convinced by the gentle handling of dough, easy changeover between productions and flexibility of the Alice, which qualified it as the best in its class, Joe trusted that the Aasted machinery was the ideal solution for the small-scale industrial productions envisioned by Joe.
The bakery line consists of a single head Alice depositor & extruder, a pressing device, an ultrasonic cutter and a tray handling system.
